Kids are Heroes

@Coopmike48 (Big Education Ape Blogspot) tweeted today: “If you think kids can’t change the world you haven’t visited kidsareheroes.org.” #kidsareheroes #DT @KidsAreHeroes

Kids Are Heroes® is a non-profit that empowers, encourages and inspires children to become leaders through volunteerism and community involvement. We do this by showcasing and supporting children who are making a difference through their selfless acts of giving. (site description)

This site is great—it’s simple to navigate around (for both kids and adults), and its real-life stories are endearing and inspiring. Plus, it even has word games!

Meet Erica

At age 9, Erica started a charity making fleece blankets for hospitals. She now has her own logo and website, and has collected hundreds of dollars to keep her blanket-giving charity going.

Erica also makes homemade dog biscuits for her local animal shelter and shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child.

What can you do?

Parents: Encourage your child to Be a Hero, and help he/she share experiences with others! Learn more here.

Teachers: Once or twice a week, set aside 5-10 minutes to read an inspiring story. Or just simply explore the site with your students.

Thanks for turning us to this site, Mike!
